PHP Selector (by CloudLinux) vs MultiPHP (cPanel)

[spaceman]

I've been a cPanel user for, er, over 20 years.

The PHP Selector (by CloudLinux) vs MultiPHP (by cPanel) thing really irritates me!

"With CloudLinux, you can also make use of a similar feature: PHP Selector. PHP Selector has an important advantage over MultiPHP Manager: it allows a single cPanel user to manage PHP extensions without the need to contact his/her hoster. The user can enable/disable PHP extensions as he pleases. PHP Selector also leaves the choice of PHP version to the end-user, but the switch is made for the whole user, not for a separate website (as with MultiPHP Manager).

The main question a hoster should answer is which of the above features he will provide for his clients: MultiPHP Manager or PHP Selector. Using both can be confusing for the end-users. You can manage which features to show to your cPanel end-users in WHM Home » Packages » Feature Manager » Feature Lists."

I'm a big fan of healthy competition, but I just wish, on CloudLinux servers, it was possible to 100% disable either PHP Selector OR MultiPHP in favour of the other.

Just sayin'

It is (at leat for PHP Selector). In feature manager, disable MultiPHP. In CloudLinux Manager, Selector disable Native. Now your clients will only see PHP Selector and there will be no native options.

By "disable Native" in CloudLinux Manager, I assume you mean to set the "Default php version" in Selector > Main settings to anything other than 'Native'?

 

[ffeingol]

Sorry if I was not clear. In CloudLinux Manager, Selector

- Set the Default PHP version to anything other than Native
- Under Supported Versions, uncheck native (which will keep you from setting Native as the default version).

Lovely, thanks! This will help.
